H untsville, Ala., Ju ly 25.—A t the hands of a quiet and orderly b u t determ ined mob of 1,000 men, E lijah Clark, a negro, 20 years, old, paid the extrem e penalty, of a crim inal assault upon a w hite girl, Susie P riest, 13 years old The negro was taken ou t of ja il after th e sheriff had been ovrircome by smoke and an a ttem p t to blow up the Jail w ith dynamite^ carried to the girl and identified, and then taken to Moore Grove, nea r Dallas, and swung to a limb, h is body being riddled w ith bullets and shot. The body is sw inging to a limb in a deserted grove, left as a w arning to o ther negroes who may have an idea of com m itting th is crime. C lark was guilty of one of th e m ost dasta rd ly cases of assau lt ever comm itted in N orth Alabama. He caught Susie P ries t and her sister, Nellie, out in a lonely .field and grabbed the form er by th e th ro a t, th rea ten ing to cut he r head off if she made resistance. Nellie P r ie s t escaped and gave the alarm a t Dallas. W ith in a few m inutes the en tire-m ale population was in pursu it of the negro who fled in to the m ountains. The search was continued all night.

C a p tu r e H im In B e d . -*•Deputies were, also after him . and he

was captured by Deputies Phillips and Jam a r a t . f h e home of relatives, near M eridianville, e ig h t m iles from the scene of the crim e. C lark was- in bed with two cousins, add they m ade an a t tem pt to conceal him . He was hustled out and b rought to the city a t an ea rly hour th is m orning. C lark confessed to the deputies th a t he was the neg ro who assaulted the girl, and said th a tr know ing th a t she was a poor factory g irl, he thou g h t noth ing would be dohe w ith him . W hen the news spread/over the tow n th a t the negro was to7 Jail, ,the m ale population of D allas suspended work, causing th e D allas m ill to shut down, came to town, and surrounded the ja il. . T he men b rough t rifles, sho tguns, and pistols w ith them , and were ready fo r any kind of trouble. Sheriff F ulgham was requested to hand over the keys. He refused, say ing th a t the mob would have to k ill h im to get them. A strong guard was placed a t tlje Jail, arm ed w ith W inchester sho tguns. T he mob then began to make prepara tions to break in to th e jail.

The fron t door was bu rst open and a rush made for the line of deputies in the hall. The ’ deputies opened Are and one m an, W ill V lnlng, an electric lig h t trim m er, was sho t h i the shoulder. This checked the mob fo r a while, (and the leaders decided to go abou t accom plishing th e ir object in some o ther way. Several pounds of dynam ite were secured and placed aga in st the w alls of th e Jail. The sheriff was again asked to su rrender the keys or have the ja il blown up,

he refused again. P rom inent rf&zens, am ong them Capt. W ilton Hum es, Capt. D aniel Coleman, Jo h n H. W allace, and o thers made speeches In an endeavor to pacify the mob, but they w ere hooted down.

M o b U m s D y n a m ite .Shortly a fte r noon a la rge s tick of

dynam ite was th row n up the m ain sta irw ay of th e Jail. The explosion dam aged the s ta irs and broke every window In the fro n t p a r t of the building. The sheriff w as w arhed to come out w ith h is deputies and prisoners, b u t he again firm ly refused.] The mob then m ade plans to sm oke the officers o u t of the ja il. A barre l of oil, a large am ount of ta r, and several bushels of feathers were placed on the cem ent ground floor of the Jail and se t afire. A suffocating smoke arose, and the sheriff w as compelled to take refuge in the th ird story of the Jail, th e deputies and guards seeking the rem ote cor-

:s. The negro w as forcibly token or.: the ja il to the honre of Susie

trees can hard ly be given satisfactorily, in the colum ns of a paper, for the rea- 3on th a t there is m uch detail; in regard to It th a t can only be learned by ex perience. In a general way, however, am ong th e im portan t th in g s ' in tra n sp lan ting trees are to prune off broken portions of th e root, and if th e roots have been shortened in the process p rune th e top to correspond, ta k ing pains to leave the tree in good1 form . In se ttin g the tree i t should bo set abou t tw o inches low er th a n i t grew in the nursery . In digging ( the holes for them i t is.desirable to p u t th e subsoil and top soil separately; and in covering the roots p u t in the dark soil first. I t is very im portan t, also, to thoroughly firm the soil abou t th a roots, so th a t the tree w ill be w ell anchored. T his should be | done by stam ping in the soil a round the roots as the hole is being filled up. Do not w ait un til th e hole is filled before doing so, but do i t every six inches as th e hole is filled. Dig the hole la rge E nough fcb receive the roots w ithou t J crowding.

I t is Ithen quite easy, by sigh ting along the row s both ways, to get the trees in position^ J f the rows are very long it 18 desirable to p u t up several s takes in th e course of the row.

The enter tm ng is to s a r t right. There should be a good, rich, loam y top soil six inches in depth, a t least, in which the seed should tie sown. Unless for some very good reason, which would seldom be the case, one kind o f grass only should be sown, w hich will make an even, regular grow th If cared for. D ishonest contrac to rs are occasionally to be m et w th who do not hesitate to “skim p” w ith the top soil, and a weak, stun ted and tufted grow th of grass is th e result.
